Hi All, does any one know how to pass all USB devices connected to a thin client through to a Windows TS session using Xfreerdp? I am looking to redirect all connected USB devices not just a specific one

Does any one know hot to allow all connected usb devices to be passed through using xfreerdp?

Big_James: you can't really do that as some things are required to be used local

14:02

or at least expected to, like KB and mouse

14:03

though I guess xfreerdp could maybe be patched to do so and accetp a blacklist of things to not pass in

14:03

but that's external to ltsp

||cw: In that case what is the best way to forward on a specific device?

15:16

<||cw>

by usb device id I think

15:17

<Big_James>

Don't suppose you know the correct syntax for that as so far I have yet to get any of my attempts to work.

15:18

<||cw>

/usb:id,<usbid>

15:18

I'm not sure what version that was added, and haven't tried it myself

15:20

you can get the ID from lsusb

Thank you i'll give it a look. Also do you know how active is the LTSP project at present? I have noticed that the ltsp social media feeds go quiet around 2013ish from my brief look.

15:20

<||cw>

fairly active in here

15:24

<work_alkisg>

!ltsp-source

15:24

<ltsp>

ltsp-source: at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ltsp-upstream/ltsp/ltsp-trunk/files

15:24

<work_alkisg>

...the commits there are the best indicator :)

15:25

<vagrantc>

apparently the active developers aren't much for social media :)

15:25

* vagrantc ought to write a bit more, though

15:26

* work_alkisg did publish 2 papers about ltsp!

15:26

work_alkisg is now known as alkisg

15:26

<Big_James>

Lol. Thats good to know. Glad I have not picked up on a ghost project with no active development

15:26

<vagrantc>

it could use a good development push...

15:26

<alkisg>

Maybe you could go with virtualbox over ltsp instead of xfreerdp though :)

15:28

<Big_James>

alkisg: How do you mean? I have my debian box with ltsp standalone on top that is a vm in virtualbox for testin.

15:29

But I am guessing your suggesting an implementation I have not met yet.

15:29

<alkisg>

windows 7 over vbox over ltsp instead of xfreerdp to windows 2008 server

15:29

* alkisg needs to go now though, later..

15:29

alkisg is now known as work_alkisg

15:41

<||cw>

Big_James: the idea is that you use ltsp to serve a "fat client" that just runs vbox locally which has its vdisk on nfs or something. then vbox can redirect the local usb ports into the locally running windows guest

15:42

of course you'd need clients that can handle the virtualization...

||cw: Thank you for explaining that. Unfortunately I think this is something I cannot do due to licencing restrictions in windows. That and we are aiming to try and avoid having to lay out for more windows licences over and above the TS cals and the server its self. I think it works out overall cheaper for us now and in the long run if we use cals
